Do you like practical effects and "wait that was a puppet" and fun forced perspective camera tricks?

Do you like hot butches whose superpower is explaining why capitalism sucks?

Do you like magical realism that uses metaphor to explore marginalized experiences?

Do you hate cops? Do you hate Elon Musk?

Did you love the superhero genre in the early 2010s but feel weird about that part of your life now that you have slightly better politics?

Are you tired of the MCU to the point of celebrating it being put on hold by the hollywood strikes?

Do you like strikes and unions and hate bosses and landlords?

Do you like that thing Elijah Wood does where he shows up in a niche roll to support what is clearly a passion project?

Do you want more clearly-neurodivergent black women in media?

Did you really like Sorry To Bother You?

Then watch I'm A Virgo. Get all your friends to watch it, especially the one that might be considering a career path Changing The System From The Inside.

Is it Just me or does everyone else not get along or care for their sun signs?

I am a Virgo I don’t get along with other Virgos or I would suggest others to stay away from us 😆, I love being a Virgo but I can’t stand other Virgos, maybe I’m just being critical and judgmental of other critical judgmentalers?? 🧐 Questions that I need answers too.

Got to finish up watching I'm A Virgo, and I cannot stress enough how far beyond anything else it is. I'm trying to find the words to make more people see it, because there are certain works of art which are important in far reaching ways, and this is one of them.

And the thing is, not every kind of important art is accessible, watchable, easy to engage with and easy to understand, but this one is. It's a show about black experiences which literalizes them into the surreal, giving us a thirteen foot tall protagonist and that's just the start of it. It's a show about social justice, inequality, liberation, unity, and overcoming capitalism - which appears to somehow serve these truths uncompromised by simpering and kowtowing to the system which produced it, which feels miraculous by itself, before even approaching how beautiful and human it is in every regard.

I'm A Virgo doesn't sink to poverty porn, does not dismiss important questions, and doesn't pretend to have easy answers. But what it does do is promise change and improvement and possible, and layers itself thick with luscious metaphors turned into something real and visible.

I'm A Virgo is a story about a thirteen foot tall black man at the heart of a fomenting revolution in a world that sees him as a monster and anyone around him as criminals, which wants to exploit him as much as it wants to objectify him, to do anything but give him his agency while he's pulled in three directions at once by people trying to help.

It's also just about a bunch of teenage friends growing up. It's the large writ huge and the small space of the heart in technicolor symphony. There are many pieces of media trying and failing to do just a tenth of what this one accomplishes with grace and style.

These are just words and are not enough, but I'll go ahead and implore you, make this the next thing you see.

Your moon sign can show who you are when you’re under the influence of alcohol. Your most vulnerable self.

I love her so much. You guys. She's so incredible. And the way the show characterizes her life growing up...

Anyways. 10/10
